Title: Method and apparatus for an improved power strapping machine
Inventor: HABERSTROH JAMES A
IPC: B65B13/18
Filed: 1995-09-15
Granted: 1999-01-19
Abstract: A novel method and apparatus for feeding and tensioning a strap in a power strapping machine. The apparatus includes a strap feeding mechanism, a strap tensioning mechanism, a pivoting roller carriage pivoted by a feeding and tensioning cam, strap overflow housing for receiving a strap that is prevented from properly feeding into a strap application assembly by an obstruction during feeding of the strap, and strap stretch-out housing for receiving a strap that is removed from the strap application assembly or the strap overflow housing during tensioning of the strap. The pivoting roller carriage first actuates the strap feeding mechanism to engage a portion of a strap and feed the strap toward the strap application assembly where the strap is formed in a loop about a package. The strap feeding and tensioning mechanism actuates a first gripper that secures an end of the strap in the strap application assembly. The pivoting roller carriage then actuates the strap tensioning mechanism to engage a portion of the strap and apply a tension to the looped strap The strap will be fully retracted from the strap application assembly by the strap tensioning mechanism if the strap is not properly engaged by the first gripper, and the strap will then be directed into a strap stretch-out housing where it will remain until the strap feeding mechanism again engages a portion of the strap and re-feeds the strap toward the strap application assembly. The weight and position of the strap disposed in the strap stretch-out housing prevents the strap from withdrawing entirely from the strap feeding mechanism thereby ensuring that the strap feeding mechanism will automatically engage and re-feed the strap to the strap application assembly.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un séparateur magnétique (10) constitué d'un tambour (14) portant une pluralité d'anneaux espacés et empilés (16) une section en U en forme d'arc faisant face, vers l'extérieur, à des canaux (17). Un jeu d'aimants supérieurs (70) et un jeu d'aimants inférieurs (72) reposant sur le cadre du séparateur (12) et s'étendant dans les canaux (17) et des modules matriciels (28) sont portés par les anneaux, dans les espaces entre les anneaux (16). Un mélange de matériau magnétique et non magnétique est introduit dans les modules matriciels, et des premières buses supérieures (50) pulvérisent de l'eau sur les modules matriciels (28) à mesure que les modules matriciels (28) passent entre les aimants supérieurs (70), ce qui a pour effet de chasser le matériau non magnétique. Les secondes buses supérieures (51) pulvérisent de l'eau sur les modules matriciels (28) à mesure que les modules s'éloignent des aimants supérieurs (70) de sorte que le matériau magnétique soit chassé des modules matriciels (28) et tombe dans la trémie non magnétique (21). Le matériau magnétique est envoyé depuis la trémie (23) sur les modules du matériau matriciel entre les aimants inférieurs, et le résidu non magnétique est séparé du module matriciel (28) par la buse inférieure (52), à mesure que le matériau passe entre les aimants inférieurs (72). Le résidu magnétique est enlevé par lessivage du matériau matriciel à mesure que le matériau sort du champ des aimants inférieurs (72). Le résidu magnétique tombe dans un réceptacle (79). Les anneaux (16) peuvent être réalisés en fibres de verre et en résine polymère. Les anneaux (16) sont immobilisés selon un certain espacement, grâce à des boulons et des éléments d'espacement (38). La matrice est constituée par un matériau en feuille (44) plié en accordéon.

Abstract: A shower curtain control comprised of two niche-controls mounted on the shower curtain rod, when pulled closed will effectively fit the contours of the shower enclosure walls, forming (see fig. I) squared corners. The curtain would be closed with one motion as familiarly used, no additional effort being required. With the shower curtain forming squared corners, this will eliminate the gap between the end of the curtain and the wall, the water is contained in the shower enclosure, making the floor surface outside the shower enclosure safer to step out on. The water damage to walls and floors would be eliminated, however, the ease of showering and cleaning the shower enclosure would remain the same. This design allows two shower niche-controls to form a (see fig. II)-shape for the shower curtain to be attached to, allowing ease of installation, maintenance and use as well as offering a safer system for users than currently existing systems.

Abstract: A folding blade propeller for a power vessel wherein the blades (1, 2) are synchronized in their pivotal movement as they pivot from one position to the other by flexible links (20a, 20b). The flexible links are connected at one end thereof to the base (8) of one propeller blade (1) and at the opposite to the base (9) of another (2) and act as pulling members. When one blade (1) pivots the flexible link (20a, 20b) pulls on the base of the other blade (2) to which it is attached to simultaneously pivot that blade. Slack in the links is minimized by having each link in rolling contact with rounded surfaces (8a, 9a) on the base of the respective propeller blades that are interconnected by that link.
